Meghna Gulzar Compares Patriotism in Films Raazi and Dhurandhar
Meghna Gulzar, director of the 2018 film Raazi, stated that the patriotism portrayed in Raazi's characters is no less than that in the 2025 film Dhurandhar. Speaking on the podcast Learn By KK Create, she emphasized that patriotism does not require loud expression and varies individually. Raazi focuses on a morally complex, intimate portrayal of patriotism through a spy's story, while Dhurandhar centers on action and violence. Gulzar highlighted that different storytelling approaches shape how patriotism is depicted on screen.
